From Daisy Meet and Greet to Adult Only Challenge Day, these new summer programs have a little something for everyone. Check out the exciting Daisy through adult programs happening at Camp Prairie Schooner and Camp Winding River.

Are you ready to climb, swim, zip, aim, hike, ride, rappel and learn with us this summer? Check out gsksmo.org/summerchallenge for details and to register.

Spring Re-Registration is now open. Re-register your troop by June 30 and each girl will receive a free patch. If you re-register at least 80% of your current girl membership, you will be entered into a drawing to win a fall troop meeting planned by council program staff.

The staff will work with the leader to determine activities and timeline. One troop from each of our four regions will be selected.

Try Out Mini Camp This Summer

2 night, 3 day mini camp sessions are a great way for new campers to ease into the resident camp experience! This option is now available for girls in 1st-4th grades. At mini camp girls will be able to hike, do crafts, ride horses, visit the splash park and participate in STEM activities.

TIP- Combine troop camping with new summer programs at Camp Winding River for an overnight filled with adventure!

STEM Events for Teens

Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors are invited to explore STEM at two upcoming events:

The Black & Veatch Explorer post is hosting a Spark Event for Girl Scouts on Tuesday, May 6 at 7:00 pm at Black & Veatch's World Headquarters (11401 Lamar Ave. Overland Park, KS 66211). All Cadette, Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts are invited to attend. The girls will learn about the various disciplines on engineering and what types of careers they can have as engineers.

On May 17, there will be an astronomy program for Seniors and Ambassadors at Camp Winding River. Girls will learn about how the seasons determine the stars and planets you can see in the sky. Using tools, such as telescopes, as well as a little math to do some calculations, girls will get a great introduction in astronomy.

Thinking about earning your Gold? Want to know more about the process before you dive in? Come and learn about the Girl Scout Gold Award at a Workshop led by a GSKSMO Gold Award Advisory Board Member.

Each workshop covers the requirements of the award, submission deadlines, tips and tricks for planning a successful project, and more. Attending a workshop is the absolute best way to get ready to Go Gold!

Come out on Sunday, May 4 and join Girl Scouts and their families for an outing at The K. Cheer on the Kansas City Royals as they take on the Detroit Tigers at 1:10pm. Mark your calendars and reserve your seats today!

This game is also a Family Fun Day Sunday. Kids age 14 and under can run the bases after the game for the Sunday Fun Run (conditions permitting).

We want to thank everyone who has joined Daisy's Circle in the past two months, including our new Founding Members who joined at the Annual Meeting and Adult Recognition Luncheon on April 12.

Volunteers and parents like you who join Daisy's Circle are helping to ensure that our mission for girls is sustained. You help develop programs like STEM, you help make improvements to camp properties, and you ensure all girls can receive the unique benefits of Girl Scouting.

You are all leaders and role models. You understand that getting girls where we want them to be takes an investment of time, talent, and treasure. You are doing all three.Thank you!
